Peter Bohmer

I teach political economy at the Evergreen State College and have been active in diverse social movements since the late 1960’s. I continue to believe in and work for an economic system based on human dignity for all, where poverty and exploitation are abolished, and where work is meaningful and fulfilling. I believe another system is possible that is sustainable and where cooperation, self-management and solidarity are fostered; where sexism and racism are overcome– a participatory socialist alternative to capitalism.

In fall, 2015 I taught,”Caliban and the Witch” with Elizabeth Williamson and Miranda Mellis. In spring 2016, I taught, Political Economy and Social Movements: Race, Class and Gender with Carlos Marentes.

In 2017-2018, I am teaching with Savvina Chowdhury and Maria Isabel-Morales, a full year program, Alternatives and Resistance to Global Capitalism: Mexico, U.S. and Beyond. We will spend spring quarter, 2018 in Oaxaca, and Chiapas, Mexico.
